But as one contemplates these things one is immediately struck dumb and becomes fearful, for one knows that a person is only a tiny part of the vastness of creation—humble and ignorant, standing with little understanding before the fullness of knowledge, as David lamented, “When I gaze at Your heavens, Your handiwork, what are mortals that You care for them?” (Psalm 8:4–5). —MAIMONIDES" } ] } }, "links": [ { "rel": "parent", "title": "Siddur Lev Shalem (Excerpts)", "href": "/siddur/lev-shalem.json" }, { "rel": "prev", "title": "Sh’ma and Its Blessings", "href": "/siddur/lev-shalem/lev-49-155-shabbat-and-festivals-morning-service-sh-ma-and-its-blessings.json" }, { "rel": "next", "title": "Sh’ma and Its Blessings", "href": "/siddur/lev-shalem/lev-51-157-shabbat-and-festivals-morning-service-sh-ma-and-its-blessings.json" } ] }
